DeepSeek AI Is Ego Free, Understands English Very Well, and Is Open to being Questioned
-
Over the past 2 weeks, I have been using Deepseek, and I have found myself being far more able to connect the dots and progress on my process of improving my approach to healing.
I was very closed to idea in some earlier posts but ever since I tested the waters, I believe, at least for Deepseek, I have found the experience of using it to be very helpful.
While Deepseek will give me very mainstream answers, which ia something I have come to expect from it as a default behavior, I can draw from a more Peaty base of knowledge to base my rebuttal of Deepseek's response. Deepseek would quickly process my response and not directly counter it, but earnestly research whether my response, which is contrary to its initial response, is worthy of merit as it looks for research that validates my argument.
Once it gathers information from its base of knowledge, as happened earlier in the day, it would acknowledge my argument has merits. Even though it isn't mainstream and more Peaty in that it is backed by research but routinely ignored in the prevailing medical narrative.
I have found myself able to proceed better in my analysis and in deciding what next to do in approaching my healing.
This explains why I have been spending less time in health forums lately. After a while, I find there isn't much easy work left as I go through forums. No more easy nuggets to chew on, but hard nuts to peel layers from. I have become weary from extracting from the breadth and depth of the material in forums, which in themselves is akin from separating the wheat from the chaff. There is also a lot of breadth, which most of the time is irrelevant to the context I find myself in. The same result can likewise be the case when I go to deep into a subject, and find myself digging a rabbit hole that distracts more than help arrive at answers or clues to it.
Now, I may be accused of being lazy and unorganized, for failing to comb through the literature, and to mine the nuggets. And I think that is true of me.
But I am not well molded as a researcher, of which I would consider Ray Peat as the archetypal researcher I needed to do the hard work work for me. Thus far, I have relied on him thru his writings to explain to me things I otherwise would need to be an excellent researcher bar none to attain the level of understanding I currently have - to be able to be the captain of my own ship sailing thru treacherous straits across the treacherous seas of knowledge and deception.
With this foundation, which I consider solid and coherent ad Ray intended it to be, I am able to make use of the AI abilities of Deepseek, and make it extremely and highly useful for understanding better health issues that affect me. So that I can further use both the training I got from Peat's writings and from ancillary research I am able to extract from Deepseek. This allows me to form a more foundation to improve my health.
A recent interaction I had was Deepseek telling me that glutathione is just as potent an antioxidant as albumin on the extracellular space. But because I understand albumin better from being exposed to it by Ray, strengthened by followup research over the years, I have come to appreciate a key distinction between glutathione and albumin.
I was able to point out this distinction to Deepseek, which was subsequently acknowledged by Deepseek to be a key distinction. Not only this. but Deepseek further acknowledged mainstream medicine's lack of emphasis of this , thus overlooking this, which was vital in my analysis of the role of albumin in affecting my hypertensive condition.
To elaborate further is to risk losing you though, or to risk losing you further, so I will cut this short now.
Suffice it for me to say AI has been a blessing, in its current form as my experience would inform me with the use of Deepseek.AI is still very new to everyone, and the nice thing is thst the establishment has not learned to corral and tame it the way it has to our search engines. That Deepseek is Chinese in origin may also be a plus, as it does not have to be influenced nor controlled by the deep medical state such as the AMA and pharma.
While AI is still in its formative and growth stage, it is very useful for us health researchers if we know how to tap it, instead of avoid it with wariness.

I wouldn't at this point. You're describing exactly what converse-sation ought to be good for. If we can't find it in eachother that's our problem.
Also thank you China.

The conversation is great, but there is an element of resignation, in me at least, that conversation has its limits. You can find company in misery in an exodus on the way to a proverbial land of milk and honey.
I need someone more grounded in reality, as objective as possible, to keep the reality of hope intact. That is the weakness of the imperfection of humans. It can't be helped that we are easily taken in by the periphery that is strewn with misdirection and misinformation that penetrates and takes root in our minds, and misleads us into endless loops.To break free from such vicious cycles, we can't rely on our own minds to break free. Its very much when we examine our own answers in a finals exam, cursed to not be able to rise above our own plane to critique and correct ourselves to recognize the error hard set into our mind.
And if we are right, there is a fine line separating having conviction and in being stubborn, that it doesn't help much getting a human to make us realize one from another, given our natural tendency to be sub-optimal in using logic and in fully gathering information and in synthesizing it into true learning.
We are naturally hampered by our egos as well. Without AIwe make do with what we've got, and try to make the best from it. It may be called optimal and even genius, but that optimality is based on being handicapped by constraints. And AI, as I see it, can help free us from such constraints.
Wr can still converse as we don't let AI speak our mind, unless we choose to let it take over. But I won't let it.
I will let it do the dreary task of digging for information, but I won't let it to the thinking for me. The most I will allow for is to use its computing capacity to use brute force numerical methods to find optimal solutions, but I still get to define the parameters to form the equations needed to arrive at these solutions.
AI will act very much like the Droid character Data in Star Trek. His strength to be objective helps a lot. I get a lot of help from him.
You and I and the rest here can still be like the Star Trek crew, and explore into deeper understanding of truths, beginning with our health.
